Fig. 2 B is that the frequency according to one embodiment of the invention is a signal strength signal intensity schematic diagram in the channel of beamwidth of antenna centre frequency.Shown in Fig. 2 B, wherein showed a signal strength signal intensity schematic diagram, wherein transverse axis is represented frequency, vertical axis represent signal intensity.Can carry out tuningly to antenna 105, make it have bandwidth 250.For the purpose of demonstration, what describe among Fig. 2 B is the situation of the interior received signal of FM wireless bandwidth (88MHz-108MHz).In addition, be in the purpose of demonstration, the beamwidth of antenna 250 is less than the FM bandwidth of 88MHz-108MHz.For example, the bandwidth of antenna 250 is 5MHz.The design of the actual bandwidth of antenna 105 and/or realize and will carry out as the case may be, and can change by tuned antenna 105 dynamically.Showed the exemplary description of relevant antenna dynamic tuning aspect among Fig. 2 A, similarly content is described in the U.S. Patent application of submitting in same day 11/536678 (acting on behalf of case 17783US01), and this paper has also used full content wherein.
In Fig. 2 B, the frequency of expectation channel 252 is a frequency f DC, frequency f DCIt also is the practical center frequency f of antenna 105 CFATherefore, tuned antenna 105 that can be correct is to receive expectation channel 252.For the purpose of demonstration, the received signal rank in the expectation channel 252 is represented with signal strength signal intensity 1 normalization.The tunable centre frequency of a plurality of embodiment of the present invention makes the practical center frequency f CFAWith expectation channel frequency f DCEquate.The also reconfigurable antenna tuning circuit module 110 of a plurality of embodiment of the present invention, with the bandwidth of adjustment antenna 105, and/or the impedance matching between antenna 105 and the RF front end 112.
Fig. 2 C is according to received signal intensity schematic diagram in the channel of the frequency shift (FS) beamwidth of antenna centre frequency of one embodiment of the invention.Shown in Fig. 2 C, wherein showed a signal strength signal intensity schematic diagram, identical with Fig. 2 B, wherein transverse axis is represented frequency, vertical axis represent signal intensity.Shown antenna 105 has practical center frequency 263f CFA, it is different from expectation channel frequency f DCThis may be caused by environmental factor, for example holds portable terminal 100 by the user and the additional capacitor and/or the inductance of introducing.Therefore, when the centre frequency of antenna 105 be tuned to expectation channel f DCWhen matching, the user may influence antenna performance again, makes the centre frequency and/or the beamwidth of antenna 260 that variation take place again.Therefore, the expectation channel is in frequency f DCOn signal strength signal intensity 262 be weaker than itself and practical center frequency f possibly CFA263 situations when matching.The signal strength signal intensity 262 of expectation channel can be expressed as the signal strength signal intensity 0.5 of for example standardizing.
Fig. 2 D be according to one embodiment of the invention cause centre frequency to change because of antenna hopping the time, received signal intensity schematic diagram in the channel.Shown in Fig. 2 D, wherein showed a signal strength signal intensity schematic diagram, identical with Fig. 2 B, wherein transverse axis is represented frequency, vertical axis represent signal intensity.Portable terminal 100 can't determine to expect the frequency offset of the expectation centre frequency of channel with respect to the practical center frequency.Therefore, one embodiment of the present of invention can be carried out antenna hopping by tuned antenna 105, and the centre frequency of antenna 105 is changed into multiple frequency.
For example expect that channel frequency and expectation centre frequency can be frequency f DC, and the practical center frequency may drift to for example practical center frequency 263f CFAThough portable terminal 100 can't be learnt practical center frequency 263 and be different from the expectation centre frequency that the antenna hopping algorithm stands good.Therefore, can on a plurality of centre frequencies, receive the signal of expectation channel.For example, first antenna hopping can with antenna tuning circuit 110 be tuned to frequency be f CFA1Centre frequency 273.Because centre frequency 273 is near expectation channel frequency f DC, therefore for centre frequency f CFA1, the normalized value of the signal strength signal intensity 272 of respective signal is 0.9 in the expectation channel.
Next time antenna hopping can with antenna tuning circuit 110 be tuned to frequency be f CFA2Centre frequency 275.Because concentricity frequency 273 departs from expectation channel frequency f DCDegree compare, centre frequency 275 departs from expectation channel frequency f DCDegree bigger, therefore, for centre frequency f CFA2, in the expectation channel signal strength signal intensity 274 of respective signal have littler, be 0.4 normalized value.Can be configured antenna hopping, make that the adjacent antenna bandwidth is overlapped.For example, with centre frequency 273 associated antennas bandwidth with some is overlapping with centre frequency 275 associated antennas bandwidth.By with antenna hopping to a plurality of centre frequencies, processor 116 can be set up effective centre frequency table, so that can receive abundant signal for the expectation channel.This mode is called quick antenna hopping, and its antenna hopping speed is greater than the antenna hopping speed of antenna hopping at a slow speed.
As the part of quick antenna hopping, portable terminal 100 can be with the signal polymerization that receives on limited centre frequency in the expectation channel.The polymerization of signal can be carried out in for example RF front end 112 or baseband processor 114.The polymerization of signal can realize by carrying out voltage accumulation by analog signal polymerizer 112a, also can handle digital baseband data by digital signal polymerizer 114a or DSP 114b and realize.Therefore, fast the antenna hopping speed of antenna hopping greater than Nyquist sample rate to the signal content of the expectation channel that receiving.For example, if the expectation channel is a simulation FM channel, Nyquist leads and is equal to or greater than 36000KHz.Therefore, antenna hopping can jump to different centre frequencies with per 28 microseconds or faster speed fast.But the quantity independent design and/or the realization of the employed centre frequency of antenna hopping fast.Can generate the employed active centre frequency meter of quick antenna hopping in the antenna hopping process at a slow speed, and/or in the antenna hopping process this table made amendment fast.Also will measure in the antenna hopping process fast signal strength signal intensity.For example, if the signal strength signal intensity of expectation in the channel is lower than the threshold value that is used for judging that signal strength signal intensity is whether enough, then processor 116 will be deleted the centre frequency of this signal strength signal intensity correspondence from the active centre frequency meter.
Antenna hopping can stay for some time on centre frequency at a slow speed, for example several milliseconds.According to the length of signal reception time in the expectation channel in the antenna hopping process at a slow speed, in antenna hopping process at a slow speed, portable terminal 100 can be will the expectation channel the signal polymerization.The active centre frequency meter of expectation channel can comprise that the average power level of for example corresponding expectation channel is higher than those centre frequencies of threshold value.This threshold value can be predetermined.Power in longer a period of time averaged to reduce the distortion that other increases suddenly or rapid drawdown (instantaneous spike or dip) causes by signal level.In receiving other embodiments of the invention of digital signal for example, can determine whether the signal on these frequencies of expectation channel is abundant by determining the bit error rate of expectation channel on the different antennae centre frequency.
In this way, portable terminal 100 can receive the signal of expectation channel on different center frequency (being associated with antenna 105) at different time.Therefore, even if portable terminal is not known the exact level that is offset, also can make compensation to carrier deviation.Other embodiments of the invention can selectively be used the antenna hopping algorithm.For example, when being lower than threshold value, the intensity of received signal uses the antenna hopping algorithm.
Various embodiments of the present invention can be used different antenna hopping algorithms, for example antenna hopping and antenna hopping at a slow speed fast.For example, when the quantity of centre frequency of expectation channel when abundant (for example comprising 4 centre frequencies in the active centre frequency meter), can use quick antenna hopping.In another embodiment of the present invention,, then may only use a centre frequency if a certain centre frequency is enough strong.Another embodiment of the present invention can switch to quick antenna hopping then using at a slow speed centre frequency to upgrade the active centre frequency meter at first after finishing the antenna hopping of pre-determined number.

In step 304, RF front end 112 can for example be measured the correctness that the intensity of receiving signal is determined signal.The intensity level of receiving signal will mail to for example processor 116.In step 306, processor 116 can will receive that the intensity level of signal and for example predetermined signal strength values (for example can be stored in system storage 118 in) compare.If the intensity level of receiving signal then forwards next step 308 to more than or equal to predetermined signal strength values.Otherwise, forward step 310 to.
In step 308, processor 116 judges whether current centre frequency is the part of expectation channel active centre frequency meter.If current centre frequency is not the part of active centre frequency meter, then current centre frequency will be added in the active centre frequency meter of expectation channel.Next step is a step 312, and processor 116 reconfigures antenna tuning circuit 110, and antenna hopping is to next centre frequency, and wherein the beamwidth of antenna of next centre frequency can be overlapping with the beamwidth of antenna of current centre frequency.Forward step 304 then to.
In step 310, processor 116 judges whether current centre frequency is the part of the wired centre frequency table of expectation channel.If then this centre frequency is deleted from expectation channel active centre frequency meter.Forward step 312 then to.

In step 324, the signal of receiving will carry out polymerization.For example, if using 4 frequencies in the antenna hopping fast, then the received signal of corresponding these 4 centre frequencies will be carried out polymerization.For example, polymerization process can for example carried out in the RF front end 112, by analog signal polymerizer 112a received signal (received signal is from the expectation channel, and centre frequency is the centre frequency of using in the quick antenna hopping) is carried out voltage accumulative total.After jumping to 4 centre frequencies, will carry out polymerization to the signal in 4 antenna hoppings subsequently.Polymerization process also can occur in the baseband processor 114, and the received signal of corresponding four centre frequencies is converted to 4 numeral samples, handles this 4 numeral samples, generates the individual digit sample.The processing of digital signal can be carried out by digital signal polymerizer 114a or DSP 114b.
In step 326, processor 116 will continue antenna 105 is carried out quick antenna hopping, use next centre frequency in the expectation channel active centre frequency meter to dispose antenna tuning circuit 110.If current centre frequency is one last in 4 centre frequencies using in the quick antenna hopping, then next centre frequency will be first in four centre frequencies.
